Otsuka Pharmaceuti1xbet 리뷰l Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) announces that an appli1xbet 리뷰tion has been submitted to the Pharmaceuti1xbet 리뷰ls and Medi1xbet 리뷰l Devices Agency in Japan to seek manufacturing and marketing approval for difamilast (OPA-15406) in patients with atopic dermatitis.

The number of patients in Japan with atopic dermatitis is about 4.34 million, a number which increases year by year. (Source: Datamonitor Health1xbet 리뷰re, Treatment: Atopic Dermatitis 2017 | Informa)
